Philip Carey Manufacturing Company was a major manufacturer of asbestos-containing insulation products — including asbestos pipe line felt, asbestos pipe covering, and specialty asbestos materials used throughout industrial and naval applications. Philip Carey’s asbestos products were used in the insulation of steam and hot water piping at naval installations and aboard Navy vessels throughout the peak asbestos exposure era. Philip Carey either supplied insulation products directly or worked through Philip Carey contractors who performed insulation installation at naval and industrial facilities. Philip Carey’s asbestos product manufacturing established it as a documented supplier in the national asbestos insulation record. Publicly filed asbestos litigation records document Philip Carey Manufacturing Company: named product identification for Philip Carey asbestos pipe line felt, Philip Carey or Philip Carey contractor identification, and Philip Carey in the national asbestos industry association context.

Philip Carey Products in Naval Applications

Asbestos pipe line felt: Philip Carey’s asbestos pipe line felt was used as the outer wrapping layer on pipe insulation systems, as a joint cover between insulation sections, and as a patching material for damaged pipe insulation. The felt was cut and applied by insulation workers and Pipefitters aboard ships and at naval installations — releasing asbestos fiber from every cut and from the handling and application process.

Asbestos pipe covering: Philip Carey manufactured pre-formed asbestos pipe covering sections — the cylindrical half-section pipe insulation that was the standard covering for steam and hot water piping throughout Navy ship engineering spaces. Each installation and replacement cycle released asbestos fiber from the cut faces of the insulation sections.

Asbestos-containing specialty materials: Philip Carey’s product line included specialty asbestos materials used in industrial and naval applications — covering a range of asbestos-containing insulation products beyond pipe covering and felt.

VA Claims and Legal Options — Philip Carey Manufacturing

Navy veterans who were exposed to Philip Carey asbestos pipe insulation or felt products during naval service — including Pipefitters, insulation workers, and engineering ratings who worked with or around Philip Carey products aboard Navy ships or at naval installations — and shipyard workers who installed Philip Carey insulation products, who subsequently developed mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer, asbestosis, or pleural disease, may qualify for:

  • VA service connection under VA asbestos-claim guidance for veterans with documented duty performing insulation or piping work in Navy engineering spaces
  • Civil claims against Philip Carey successors based on documented asbestos pipe line felt and pipe covering use in naval applications

Key documents:

  • DD-214 or service records — documenting naval service in engineering or piping maintenance ratings
  • Employment records — insulation contractor work or Philip Carey contractor employment
  • Diagnosis — mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer, asbestosis, or pleural disease
